Kris’ Book Reviews

The book starts similarly to the “The Great Hunt”, and probably will end also the same as two previous books.We start off few months after the end of previous part, the final battle that was presented there wasn’t really final (again!), and the Dark One isn’t dead. Rand (the new Dragon), Perrin, Moiraine and the soldiers from Shienar are hiding in the mountains. Rand is afraid of his powers, and eventually, after a Trollock attack on the camp, escapes from his friends. Al’Thors escape and Moiraine search for him is one of the three plots that make up the book.
